HOW MUCH I carry when I travel to Bali. Pack with Me in this Video.
Packing for Bali takes finesse, girls! You need to be prepared for a wide range of Bali adventures from swimming on some of the world’s best beaches to taking Instagram photos in Bali’s most Instagrammable cafes. The key to packing for Bali is balance!
In this Bali packing list, I’m going to show you what to bring on a proper Bali vacation. Follow this solo female travel guide – and you won’t have to worry about over-packing or underpacking.
Here we go. Here is the ultimate Bali packing list for solo female travelers.
This is the Osprey Fairview 55L. This is the bag I travel all around the world with. Get it.
The zippers keep your things secure, the pockets keep your things organized.
Embrace the fanny pack lifestyle. This fits your phone, passport, wallet and extras.
Going on a boat or to the beach? Stuff your camera, notebook and valuables in here.
Girls, Indonesia is hot. Like HOT HOT. And while in an ideal world, we’d be running around in a tank top and shorts, we can’t do that because #Indonesia. We’ve got to keep in mind that Indonesia is a relatively conservative country – both on the streets and in the temples.
So trust me when I say that balancing your India wardrobe is an art form.
LETS START PACKING
For plane rides and car rides…and whatever else you may ride (that sounds accidentally dirty so I’m just going to leave it). Get two pairs!
These are the pair of jean shorts that I’ve been rocking lately. Levi’s Women’s 501 Original shorts. They have many styles.
I live in this dress from Halara. I have it in 5 colors. Yes, FIVE. Built in shorts and bra!
And just for comfy days out. This pair has a stretchy waist band that feels like shapewear.
Dresses are the most versatile articles of clothing in your bag! Dress them up for a night out, cover your knees for a day of temple hopping or throw one on to look airport chic.
Here are my favorite affordable dress picks…
The best travel undies for hot weather
This External Battery. I love that it has the built-in cords.
Drone with Dual Primary Cameras
Bali is the #1 best place to learn to fly a drone (rice fields are easy to fly over and stunning from the sky).
Bali water is not kind to hair. You need a good shampoo.
Bali heat is also not kind to hair.
…for after the beach
